NRS 174.034

Sealing of records after discharge

Known as the Uniform Act

The act spans §§ 174–174 (63 sections).

(Added to NRS by 2017, 3013)

1. If the defendant is discharged and the indictment, information, complaint or citation is dismissed pursuant to NRS 174.033, the justice court or municipal court must order sealed all documents, papers and exhibits in the record of the defendant, minute book entries and entries on dockets, and other documents relating to the case in the custody of such other agencies and officers as are named in the order of the court. The court shall order those records sealed without a hearing unless the district attorney petitions the court, for good cause shown, not to seal the records and requests a hearing thereon.

2. If the justice court or municipal court orders the record of a defendant sealed, the defendant must send a copy of the order to each agency or officer named in the order. Each such agency or officer shall notify the court in writing of its compliance with the order.
